HC Deb 04 December 1972 vol 847 c293W
58. Mr. McMaster

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement about employment prospects at Short Brothers and Harland in Belfast and on the present state of its order book.

Mr. Onslow

As a result of the measures which my hon. Friend announced to the House on 9th August and of the company's recent success in selling Skyvan aircraft, the company's prospects are better than for some time past.—[Vol. 842, c.464–6.]
